OUTBACK BOWL

Edward Aschoff ESPN Staff Writer

Florida and USF have agreed to play a three-game football series beginning in 2022. The Bulls will travel to Gainesville in 2022 and will host the Gators in Tampa for the first time ever on Sept. 9, 2023. The Bulls will return to Gainesville on Sept. 6, 2025. These two have met only one other time, with Florida winning 38-14 in Gainesville in 2010.

Former SEC commissioner Mike Slive, who led the league to unprecedented success both on and off the field and managed its growth from a regional conference to national giant during his 13-year tenure, died Wednesday at age 77.

Florida has significantly revised plans to upgrade several on-campus facilities, which will now include a new baseball stadium across campus and a more expansive building to house the all-important, revenue-generating football program.

Attorneys for a Mississippi-based clothing store that sued two Mississippi State players for defamation and conspiracy added former Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen, former MSU athletics director Scott Stricklin, the NCAA and an investigator as defendants.
